Essence Carrie

So close to New Year! I haven’t made any mani yet but I thought glitters would be fine to show you today!

Some weeks ago Tatjana of Taya - My Little Beauty World had a small blog swap. Instead of selling some polishes she offered to swap them, such a nice idea! Can you believe my surprise when I saw one of the polishes was Essence Carrie? Carrie is a glitter topper of the Twins series which is now sadly discontinued. I’ve had it in my wishlist forever and I honestly had no hope to find it at this point. And then there I saw it! I think I wrote my quickiest email ever to ask her for Carrie! And Tatjana happily accepted because she was curious to try some Kiko. She even sent me some handmade earrings that my mom suddenly stole me and they were the same colours of Carrie. How sweet of her! Thank you so much Tatjana!

But now let’s talk of Carrie. As you all know by now Essence has this line of polishes that consist of a creme base and a glitter topper and they are named after famous couples. Carrie (obviously coupled to Mr Big – Sex and the City anyone?) is a glitter topper with bigger and smaller pink glitters in two different shades (light and dark). I applied it over OPI Black Cherry Chutney since that one disappointed me so much. And the match was done!! I loved the result, those glitters are amazing! And the dark base colour is perfect. I’ll try it on a lighter pink sometime soon, too, but my guess is that dark is best.

In the pics you see two coats of Carrie and one of top coat btw. Do you like it?
